Are You Ready for Some More? is the third and final album released by the house and reggae-influenced musical project Reel 2 Real.[4] By the end of 1996, the producer, Erick Morillo, had abandoned the alias Reel 2 Real and began establishing himself as an underground DJ.
Critical reception
[edit]AllMusic editor John Bush wrote, "Reel 2 Real's sophomore album is a bit less focused on hit singles, especially so considering it doesn't contain the megahit "I Like to Move It". Though there are plenty of charting singles included -- the title track "Mueve la Cadera (Move Your Body)", "Jazz It Up", -- Morillo attempts to diversify, including another update of the Gamble-Huff chestnut "Now That We Found Love" and the ballad "Love Hurts." He's only occasionally successful, though, making one wish he'd stick to hit singles."
Track listing
[edit]All tracks are produced by Erick Morillo with co-producers Laron Cue, Jose Nunez, Peter Tulloch, and Armand Van Helden, featuring vocals by Althea McQueen and Mark Quashie.
